    Hi Matt

    My Grandad Sam Tomlinson served with the 150th .

    I have lots of photos of his time in the army pre -war and during the war as he was reservist for many years but sadly not one of them have any names on the back .

    I have photo of "A" troop 434 Battery from April 1944 , but I can't see a CH Key listed in the the names , then again neither is my grandad .

    Here is a photo of him on what I believe is Pre war camp , my Grandad is 2nd from the Right , he was also wounded in the battle around Caen I'm not sure when , but I do have a C-in C certificate he was awarded for Gallantry in around June/July 1944.

    Scan 6.jpeg

    If you would like me to scan a few photographs I can send them over .

    Best Regards

    Pete T
